PIXI Retinol Tonic 250ml Facial Toner Sealed Smooth & Firm Skin Contours

Product Information

Bracers provide hydrating and soothing effects for the skin, and are therefore best suited for normal, dry or sensitive skin types. Rose water and glycerin are some ingredients used within bracers to calm and hydrate the skin. Tonics The clear, lightweight solution is slightly runny and comes out of a small aperture at the top of the frosted bottle, so be aware that if you aren’t careful, you can potentially pour too much product out of the opening. People who use retinols commonly experience dry and irritated skin, especially after using a new product. Other side effects may include: When incorporated into your skin care routine, toners will balance out your skin’s pH and remove impurities. Use a toner as a second step in your routine, after your cleanser but before moisturizing.

While exfoliating acids work by dissolving the surface layers of the skin, triggering the production of new cells from deeper layers to replace those lost, retinol instead binds itself to receptors within the skin cells, revving up the production of new cells so much so that the top layer sheds to reveal brighter, healthier skin. With so much to love, there is one con: The toner comes out of the bottle really slowly. Normally, that would be a good thing, but because our tester admitted she had to use “quite a bit of muscle” to get the toner out of the bottle (thank you, small dispenser head), it’s less than ideal. Retinol has been shown to improve skin texture, increase firmness, and reduce inflammation and pigmentation. It’s a powerful ingredient that can transform your skin, but it’s important to use it correctly to avoid side effects.

Because the vessel is glass that resembles a perfume bottle more than a toner, you can’t exactly squeeze anything out. You have to gently (and steadily) pour the bottle into your hand or onto a cotton pad in small amounts, or else you’ll risk spilling some. Retinol can be a powerful addition to your Skincare routine, but it’s important to use it carefully to avoid irritation or other negative side effects. When used correctly, you can enjoy all the benefits of this amazing ingredient. What is Toner? When it comes to establishing a skincare routine, it’s not always straight forward – long gone are the days of simply cleansing, toning and moisturising. Now, we often hear words like peptides, retinol, vitamin C, acids and serums. But what do they all mean? And more importantly which product goes first? If you have sensitive skin, you may be hesitant to use toner and retinol together. However, with the right products and application, it’s possible to incorporate both into your Skincare routine.

Like with all beauty products, it’s essential to read the label and follow the instructions carefully. Using too much retinol or using it too regularly might have unwanted side effects (more on that below). If you’re anxious about your skin, consider talking to a dermatologist or your doctor about the best route forward. Part of the Lacura range sold by the well known retailer, the Healthy Glow Retinol Toner is cruelty free, comes in a 250ml bottle and is currently being sold for under three quid. A normal pH level is essential for protecting the skin from bacteria and pollutants. Some cleansing agents can cause this level to become imbalanced, leading to sensitivity and dryness. A toner will help restore the pH balance. Understanding the types of toners Apply with a cotton pad to face, next and décolleté after cleaning. Use as required. Recommended no more than once daily. These days acids come in just about every skincare form, from cleanser to toner, serum and moisturiser. So what's the safe limit for how many AHA/BHA products you can use in one go? Which products should you not use during the day or at night?

If you have acne-prone skin, you may find that some products trigger flare ups and irritation. There are a number of toners that are specially formulated to treat the symptoms of acne. Do Opt for a toner that contains vitamin A, also known as retinol. Retinol has been shown to effectively suppress sebum production, reducing the appearance of oiliness. There are three main types of toners: bracers, tonics and astringents. Each type is designed specifically to provide varying benefits depending on their main active ingredients. Bracers/fresheners While it's not an absolute rule not to do so, many people would find using the two at once far too irritating. 'I would avoid using multiple products with irritant properties at the same time,' explains Dr Kluk. 'An example of this would be avoiding the application of AHAs, such as glycolic acid, and retinol or any of the prescription retinoid creams together. Many people can't even tolerate using these on the same day, so my advice would be to choose one or the other unless advised otherwise by a dermatologist.'
